Carrie Underwood and B.o.B aren’t the only artists who dropped new albums on May 1. Genre-bending singer/ songwriter, Santigold released her sophomore album — Master of My Make-Believe in the states after a four year absence. Although the Philly native doesn’t have a promotional campaign as extensive as Bobby Ray and Underwood, she did stop by Late Night with Jimmy Fallon on Monday night (5/1) to perform her latest single, “Disparate Youth.”

Santigold is currently on a headlining tour across the country after ending her opening stint for the Red Hot Chili Peppers. See the remaining dates and watch the performance below the break.

Lana Del Rey performed her latest single, ‘Blue Jeans’ on The Voice UK on Sunday. Although her stage presence is non-existent, she sounded better than she has in recent showings. Watch the performance here.

Check out Mateo’s cover of the track, where he puts Lana to shame on her own song after the jump.

Indie band, Fun. stopped by The Late Show with David Letterman to perform their #1 hit, “We Are Young.” Watch below.

What’s the saying? More money, money problems? Biggie was a wise one. The latest to suffer for being successful is British boyband, One Direction (referred to as 1D in this post). Originally put together on The X-Factor UK in 2010, the five solo acts teamed up to become one of the hottest boybands to emerge in recent years.

After making history last month, they now are being sued for trademark infringement by a small California pop-rock group of the same name.
